You’re getting a little bit prolific. I think 5 Star does an upgrade for this.

Well done, there is something to be said for these small builds.

Thanks gents but I’m not rushing, it takes weeks to get little bits done you don’t even notice then BANG, it seems to jump ahead.
The who deck has a few hundred pieces to make/paint/add, then ships boat, a plane, a million individual stanchions to be added.

I used a single section of PE railinging and bent the top rail out, then glued it to the interior was, making a railing, then just glued the denier down with a tiny dab of CA

But wait! There’s more!
The upper per bridge area has a lot of detail and it took a while to get my head around what was required.
I cut cut off all the binoculars and range finder pedestals and replaced them all with North Star as the Pontos stuff really made no sense and the instructions just gave part numbers.
The high altitude range finders were all replaced with North Star as well, and I added 6 signal lamps.
I just have to add the coat the coat of arms then park it until it’s stuck onto the ship and it will get the final rigging

Multiple tiny bits finally starting to come togeather. 44inch spotlights, 21 inch signal mamas (Northstar), replacements for the Pom Poms and single 20mms, ladders.....bottom half almost done, need to rig the signal ropes.
A source of frustration is Pontos has designed the PE for the Prince of Wales not the KGV, which just throws things out a tad, and the extras are on the borderline of my level of competence because they are so small. One of Pontos phots shows a DF sticking out the front of the bridge but it’s not on the plans or the frets, so it’s not going to be there.

Magnificent as usual. I don’t think we’ll ever build out of the box again with the world of aftermarket.

I’m loving that deck! How’s about a pin wash for the search lights?

Can you give us a little tutorial on your painting technique? Your Yamato was just inspired and your levels/layers of painting, filters and pigments would be a great benefit to all of us.

Nope. Can’t buy any of it yet. He’s still in the design phase. You still have at least 2 builds to finish young man! I only have 1. I am liking your RN builds a lot though. When he makes a full set commercially available I’ll let you all know.
On the Facebooks I see some people have multiple kits still in boxes, I’ll never do that, as each day brings its own adventure and I’d hate to be caught with a huge stash of kits when the lights go off.
